Amritsar, August 8: Border Security Force personnel stationed in the Amritsar sector shot and killed an unidentified man late last night after he attempted to scale the international border fencing heading towards Pakistan.
The encounter occurred around 10:30 PM near Border Out Post Daoke, situated within the administrative domain of the Gharinda police station.
Field officials stated that sentries on duty spotted the individual moving closer to the perimeter from the Indian side of the territory. Guards issued immediate verbal challenges directing the person to halt, but the traveler disregarded the warnings and persisted in approaching the barrier.
Deprived of compliance, security personnel opened fire to neutralize the movement, resulting in the individual dying at the spot. A detailed sweeping operation was initiated immediately across the immediate perimeter.
Law enforcement sources confirmed that no contraband, illicit material, or documentation was recovered during the search. Authorities declared that investigations remain ongoing under local police jurisdiction to establish the deceased individual’s identity and nationality.
